PSY 396 - Advanced Practicum

3 Credit(s)

The advanced practicum course is an experiential learning course in which students have an opportunity to gain extensive “real world” experience by working with industry leaders, psychologists, and psychology- related professionals in organizations involved in psychological research and practice. Placements include research, human service agencies, service delivery, human resources, and government agencies. This course serves as an alternate for an internship and provides students with in-depth training with another population at a different placement site than experienced in the applied or clinical-counseling practicum courses. Students are required to complete 75 hours of fieldwork and connect their fieldwork to the psychology content in the seminar. Students cannot take PSY 396 and PSY 423/PSY 424.
Requisite(s): A “C” or better in either PSY 394 or PSY 395; a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.80 and a GPA in the psychology major of at least a 3.0; must be a senior; and complete a practicum application and all other corresponding paperwork with the practicum/internship coordinator.
